Hi all
I am back. I have not posted on here in a long time. Life has been busy for me. I have a question I am sure was answered on here but I am not sure where in the forum it was answered. Sorry if I am repeating a quest. I have a Colortran ENR 96 dimmer rack. The system has a Status 24/48 board. Now do any of you know if a board that uses DMX protocol will work with this rack. Here is the reason I ask we had a person rent our theater years ago and were using the lighting system. Me as technical director I was asked to come in and be in the build as they were using the system. The owner of the building always likes me there when the lighting system is being used cause I was the one the purchased the system from a local high school and had it installed in our theater so I am basically the only one that knows how to program the board. The lighting person who was with the group that was renting our theater brought an ETC board in and plugged it in to our ENR 96 dimmer rack and it worked. When I plugging an bord the uses DMX 512 protocal all three of the lights on the control mods just blink over and over again. However when I plug back in the Status 24/48 board back in the system works as normal.
How would these people using our theater be able to plug a digital ETC board into our Colortran ENR 96 dimmer rack and it work when I can not get a DMX 512 board to work?
Thanks
